Play Disney's Tarzan Online

Summary

Disney's Tarzan is a 2.5‑D side‑scrolling platformer that lets you swing between the jungle canopy as both a mischievous child and a powerful adult. The game spans fourteen distinct levels, each built with three‑dimensional models that give the world depth while the action stays on a two‑dimensional plane. You can ground‑slam to break crates and reveal hidden paths, and the simple control scheme lets you run, jump and climb with a satisfying sense of momentum.

Combat revolves around tossing fruit—four color‑coded power levels that can be lobbed overhand or underhand—while occasional knives, spears or even a parasol appear as level‑specific weapons. Your health bar drains with each bite from monkeys, baboons, eagles, Sabor the leopard, snakes, bushpigs or the hunter Clayton, but bananas scattered throughout the jungle refill it. Collecting coins (hundred of them grant an extra life), four sketch pieces, or the hidden letters T‑A‑R‑Z‑A‑N unlocks bonus stages and film clips, rewarding exploration.

The game offers easy, medium and hard modes; on the two lower settings the youngster Tarzan receives helpful hints from his friend Terk, while the hard setting drops the guidance for a tougher jungle trek. Critics praised the vibrant graphics and the faithful recreation of the movie’s atmosphere, and the title even earned a Gold sales award in the UK for moving over 200,000 copies. I still find the blend of colorful visuals and simple yet varied gameplay a nostalgic reminder of late‑90s platform fun.

Storyline

Disney's Tarzan for PlayStation follows the film’s outline but lets you live it. You start as a young orphan raised by a troop of gorillas, learning to climb trees, swing on branches and fend off small, aggressive wildlife. As you master these abilities, the boy matures into the powerful Tarzan we know from the movie.

The grown‑up hero must then protect his jungle home from a band of hunters, all commanded by the ruthless Clayton. The game’s progression mirrors Tarzan’s own growth, turning a childhood of training into a full‑blown battle to keep the forest safe.
